Legal bases

The establishment of the state commissioner is constitutionally secured in Article 63 of the constitution of the state of Saxony-Anhalt. He is elected for six years by the state parliament with a two-thirds majority at the suggestion of the state government. After the candidate of the state government failed to find a majority in three ballots in May 2018, a constitutional amendment is being discussed.

The most important additional legal basis is the "Law for the Protection of Personal Data of Citizens" (DSG LSA). The fourth section of this law (§ 20 ff) regulates the tasks, position, rights and competencies of the state data protection officer.

These regulations are specified in the “Administrative Regulations for the Law on the Protection of Personal Data of Citizens” (VV-DSG-LSA).

According to the “Saxony-Anhalt Information Access Act” (IZG LSA), the state commissioner for data protection in Saxony-Anhalt is also designated as the state commissioner for freedom of information.
